Congratulations to you. Should both the LORs be from employer or one from previous mentor is better?

Any Round 3 applicants in this lot?

I'm still awaiting the HEC student ID to upload my supporting documents.

Hey!
I'm Rahul from India. I've got an admit but I haven't accepted yet.
So anyone from India on here that has accepted their admits? Anyone decided to defer due to the current situation with the virus?
Also for non-French speakers, how are you guys prepping your French?

Thanks

Hey, Rahul. I am from India aswell, and I have been offered admission too. I have also been offered admission in Ted Rogers, Ryerson university. I am confused between the two schools. Also, I am not sure if this is the right year to start MBA considering the pandemic. I have up to 16th May to make my decision regarding HEC offer. If you have any information that can be of my help, please let me know. Regarding your French language query, I am learning it from a book called Easy French Step by Step by Myrna Bell Rochester.

I received an offer as well, but now considering defer to next year due to the Coronavirus; also looks like next year they will have the MBA+ program to help us improve on French.

Hey Harsh!
I gave me Ryerson KIRA today. Wasn't particularly good. Not expecting much there. Anyway, I'm also leaning towards deferring the admission to next year but I'm not completely sure. Thanks for the book recommendation, I'm giving it a look right now.

Hey qew986 !
I didn't realize that MBA+ wasn't available this year. It sounds like a great idea. But would we be eligible for it if we defer?

I have had a message from Ginette from HEC Montreal; she told me that classes would be for 40 to 50 hours a week, leaving minimal or no time to do part-time job. Not doing part time job was explicitly advised to me by HEC Montreal authorities aswell. Does this limitation/restriction imply that we have to finance our lodging and accommodation aswell from savings ? Any update on how many are deferring/cancelling admission and how many are accepting it?

Hey.
Harshit here. I have an MBA admit for fall at HEC and i've accepted it. I checked with alums and part time job isnt a thing at HEC due to strict curriculum and current covid situation will kill chances of whatever was possible. So i had this info.

Regarding CAQ etc does anyone has any experience in current days if they have already applied for caq or waiting etc.

Hey, Harshit. Can u give me contact of few alumni? I have too many queries and could use some expert opinions.
Also, how much time does student visa procedure and CAQ procedure take ?

Hey.

Just go over linkedin and on hec page you can find them.
I would have to ask the alum before sharing the contact if that is fine with you!

Caq may take long time and study permit is all after caq.
Btw have you already applied caq?

Also incase you can let me know if there is any specific doubt.

Hope it helps

Thanks

I got a mail from HEC saying that fall term will be conducted online. How would that affect overall MBA experience?

Hey Guys. I have been watching this space for a while. Is there (any wss app ) group created for selected / potential candidates to connect? Or is there any other chat group?
Pls help me in joining the same.
I typed it wss app because GMAT club converts the correct spellings to their chat link.

Well, I have also been selected but this is definitely a point which is worth consideration. Is there any discussion or link where all are connected?

Hi there! New user. Awesome forum.

I wanted to know if there is a separate section for the part-time MBA at HEC Mtl? I got admitted in Round 4 a few weeks ago, and was curious who I'd be studying with. + I live right next to HEC, so if anybody needs help figuring life around here, I'm your man!

Best to you all.

Hi Harsh, Hope you are doing well! I’m an Indian candidate and planning to apply for an MBA program at HEC Montreal and Ryerson. Could you please confirm if language proficiency test is required at the time of submitting the application. I have the certificate from university stated that the medium of instruction in graduation was english.
